After traveling 1.5 million miles across the globe, the Polly Woodside now welcomes you aboard.

Built in Belfast in 1885, the three-masted cargo vessel carried coal and wheat between England and South America.
You can join the crew, come aboard for a ship tour, and discover what life was like on a tall ship sailing the seven seas.

Come aboard and explore at your own pace or join one of our guided tours.
